Hi there, I am hoping the good people here can help me.
I am building a new pc and am unsure of which PSU to get.
I am using a 4670k, a 7970/280x, Asrock Z87 extreme 4 mobo, plus three HDD (one ssd) plus a few other odds and ends going into a cooler master HAFX case.
Thanks in advance.

Edit: I'm not going to say money's no object (ideally £75-100)
 


Hi - here a few to choose from, all with more than enough power, and Haswell ready:

I don't think the Antec hcg 620 linked above is Haswell ready

I was thinking about the Corsair RM750 Fully Modular 750W psu. In the (reasonably) unlikely event of wanting to crossfire in the future I'd like some headroom in terms of the psu. How does this psu rate?
 


Hi again - The Corair RM750 failed Hardocp's lab test. Corsair has since had it modified, but I personally wouldn't
purchase one until I saw some positive reviews from trusted review sites (jonnyguru, Hardware Secrets, Hardocp, a couple others). Particularly, I'd want to see some positive reviews becaus Corsair is using a different OEM (Hipro/Chicony) than older well regarded TX & HX series (CWT/Seasonic).

The RM might be fine units, but I'd want some evidence before I'd purch one.

If you want a 750 for potential CF in the future, either of these would be nice choices:
